Concerning responsiveness: It would greatly enhance the  
responsiveness of this list if you would stop messing the threading  
up. So please do _not_ use the reply button in your mail program, but  
just write a new mail to textmate at lists.macromates.com if you want to  
start a new thread. Otherwise the universe will collapse (as noted in  
the footer) and we really don't want that.

I think the delay is caused by what Allan explained about 4 days ago:  
TextMate doesn't handle long lines very good if you don't enable soft  
wrap. And because there are rather few line breaks in BMPs, TextMate  
sucks at editing 1 MB BMPs. But why would you want to do that anyway,  
exept by mistake?

Maybe TextMate could recognize binary files in general (not just  
BMPs, that would be rather silly) and kindly ask me about that,  
Allan? Or could it auto-enable soft wrap for files where long lines  
would cause problems? Although I'm not sure how to recognize these  
files in advance.
